Estimation of a US dairy sector model by maximum simulated likelihood

  • Carlos Arias
  • Thomas Cox

Abstract

This paper estimates a multivariate Tobit system of monthly wholesale dairy prices where four prices are lower censored by the dairy price support programme. Using Maximum Simulated Likelihood (MSL) the effects of simulation noise are tested/corrected for and the relevance of estimating multivariate versus the single Tobit equations discussed.
